Define service pricing structures
This module enables Service Managers to establish, modify, and maintain detailed service contracts within the Yard Management System. It provides a centralized interface for defining pricing tiers, service bundles, and contractual terms applicable to vehicle maintenance and repair operations. By managing these financial agreements directly, administrators ensure that all service requests adhere to agreed-upon rates and scope definitions. The system supports granular control over cost structures without requiring external billing integration, allowing teams to adjust parameters based on seasonal demand or operational volume.
Service Managers can create new pricing templates that link specific vehicle service categories to defined rate cards. This ensures consistency across all contract negotiations and internal service orders.
The system allows for version control of pricing agreements, enabling managers to track historical changes and audit trails for compliance purposes.
Pricing configurations can be restricted by vehicle type or service duration, ensuring that rates are applied accurately based on the specific contract terms.
